Online Tournaments will be your entry point into the Apex Legends Global Series. During these competitions you can earn Apex Legends Global Series Points and qualify for live events.
These live event, called Challenger Events, are regional competitions that will put on the spot local players and award the winners with a reserved spot in the upcoming Major.
Premier Events are live events pitting the top online competitors from each global region against one another to earn placement invitations to Majors.
Finally, Majors are events during which best teams around the world compete for the largest prize pools throughout the year. These Grand Finals will crown the best Apex Legends players in the world.
